The story behind the Bolide
Hermès dates the Bolide to 1923 and ties its rounded, zipped design to motor travel; it was the first Hermès bag closed by a zipper. Made in miniature, handbag and travel sizes.
Discover Hermès Bolide BagsThe Bolide Shark sets a shark's face across one end of the Bolide in shaped, applied leather, turning the house's first zippered bag into a playful edition. At 45 cm it is the travel size, with double rolled handles and a detachable shoulder strap.
Bleu Nuit is the house's deep navy, close to black in low light, and Togo's pebbled grain gives the large body its structure. Palladium hardware keeps the palette cool.
Styled with: The Baginizer Structured Handbag Organizer, sold separately
Collector's Insight:
The Shark Bolide was a limited edition made in a small number of colorways, and in the 45 cm size it is as much a travel bag as a novelty piece.
Resale Insight:
Buyers check the applied shark details for lifting edges and the corners and base of the large body, which take the most wear on a travel bag.
